Democratic lawmakers are meekly walking to the back of the bus...

It’s not often a US President holds a press conference in the White House and casually suggests ethnic cleansing, so please stop telling me to calm down. It’s been my experience that the minute people start telling me to calm down is when shit is about to get 100 times worse.

Even I was a bit taken aback when Trump started touting the soon-to-be-booming Gaza real estate market, but was quickly reminded that his son-in-law was publicly drooling over all this beach front property last year. At the very least, when they suggest they are going to do stupid illegal shit, you should believe them (I direct you to “Project 2025” if you wish to try to refute me on this).

And I should not be forced to explain tariffs to people who think DEI programs cause airplanes to fall out of the sky. Or to try to reconcile the sudden attitude reversal of the “lock her up / but her emails” crowd, who are currently cheering on the largest private data breach in the history of the world.

And yet here we are. Make no mistake, our outrage is completely justified, and I shall immerse myself in said outrage presently….but permit me a slight diversion?

Allow me speak for a few moments on the opposition party. And what they are doing. Or in our case, what they are NOT doing. Which is a lot. They are finding so many ways to not do anything that I am losing track. Don’t get me wrong. They are excellent x-tweeters……and can rain rhetorical thunder down from a bank of microphones like BOSSES. But thus far at least they have sucked at the nuts and bolts of preventing a coup, which might include things like locking fucking doors, or not giving out passwords to a high school kid named Eddie. Or, pray tell, utilizing the power of law enforcement. Which sounds quaint I know, but that used to be a thing. Maybe it still is? Worth a try….

Thus far their biggest attempt at fighting back was arriving at the front doors of USAID headquarters, a place most MAGAs now calling for its destruction had never heard of, and being denied entry by a single rent-a-cop named George. Actually, I don’t know his name but he looked more like a Wal-Mart greeter than actual law enforcement. Instead of busting windows and/or climbing walls and forcing their way inside, which since January 6, 2021 is apparently perfectly legal, this rag-tag group of congressional Democrats meekly retreated and held a press conference on the front lawn, once again reiterating how much of a big fat meanie-face Elon Musk was. It all had the feel of the French taunting scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. All that was missing was Musk’s teenage cyborgs dropping live cows on them.

Thus emboldened, Musk and his band of Musk-youth have since spread themselves like locusts all over DC, and have now essentially taken over non-important entities like the FBI, the CIA, and Social Security, while Democratic “lawmakers” try in vain to simply keep up with all of the laws being unmade. Three days ago Senator Chuck Schumer took a moment to commemorate the birthday of Rosa Parks, apparently oblivious to the irony that Parks’ bravery was exactly the kind his own party lacks. You think Rosa Parks would have let George the rent-a-cop stop her at the front door? She would have forced him to arrest her. She would have made good trouble. Democratic lawmakers are meekly walking to the back of the bus.

In regards to the rank and file bean counters, a little non-compliance would be helpful, no? How about not leading DOGE geeks to the fucking captain’s chair? Switch your name tags. Shut down the elevator between floors. Trip the fire alarm. If you are too afraid to tell a 20 year old hacker fresh out of his Mom’s basement to go fuck himself, then don’t say anything at all. Remain silent. Fill the place with lawyers. Bring your dogs to work and let them shit all over the floor. Clog the toilets. Turn the heat off. Move everybody’s desk around. It is stupefying to me that people are simply giving up root passwords to teenage incels….and then meekly waiting to be fired.

As wretched as Trump and Musk are, alone they are just another 2 white guys ranting about brown people and not being able to get laid without paying for it. Their power comes from the seemingly endless supply of bootlickers willing to do their bidding. In time, many will suddenly morph into the proverbial “good Germans”. But in this day and age, it’s difficult to escape your online-past. Which is why a 25 year old DOGE employee named Marko, who was busy lurking with read/write access in the Treasury Department payment system, resigned yesterday when his racist past came out. He was outed by the Wall Street Journal of all places, not exactly a bastion of liberalism. Expect more of this sort of thing. It’s not at all surprising that, almost daily, newly pardoned January 6 rioters are being re-arrested for various pieces of scumbaggery, including domestic violence, rape. and soliciting sex from children. Only the best people.

Eventually, that leopard is coming for all their faces.

As for Democratic lawmakers? One day a grandchild is gonna say “Papa what did YOU do to stop Trump and Musk when they attempted their coup?” and Pappa is gonna mumble and say “go get me another beer, would ya?”

In other words, it’s up to the rest of us, Bubba.

In a bit…
